Easy Tostones Recipe
1. What are they? And why do you make Puerto Rican food?
So garlic tostones are basically fried plantains that have been pre-soaked in garlic water to give them extra flavor. Imagine TJs potato oles but 100 times better. And yes I'm talking about TJs that's Taco John's. I grew up in a small town in Minnesota okay?
Bjork and I recently had dinner with our incredibly sweet friends Bjorn (Bjork and Bjorn BFF no joke) and Maureen and since Maureen is Puerto Rican she made us the most amazing Puerto Rican dinner: chicken rice and bean tostones. I watched her make the tostones and we chatted about life as she dipped them in garlic water and tossed them into the skillet where they became their golden brown little selves. I couldn’t get the image/taste/texture out of it and thus an addiction was born.
